FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001]This invention is in the field of covers for a drink, and more specifically to such covers for temporarily protecting the top surface of a drink container against bugs, dirt, dust, bacteria, and the like.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002]A person enjoying a drink in the outdoors such as on a beach, in a park, or on a porch may often leave their unfinished drink unattended standing on a table while dealing with other matters or while their attention is drawn into a conversation. During this time bugs, dirt, dust, sand, and bacteria are free to float or fly into the top of the drink container and into the drink itself. When the person returns their attention to their unfinished drink, their drink will have been contaminated and therefore undrinkable.
[0003]For this reason, a person may wish to carry their drink with them wherever they go. This is undesirable, however, because it requires that the person pays constant attention to their drink so as not to spill it or to allow any free floating matter or bugs to fly into their drink. Oftentimes both hands of the person are occupied in protecting their drink: one hand to hold their drink and the other to cover the top of the drink container so as not to allow any matter to fly into the top of the drink container or to swat away flies and other bugs from getting into her drink. This solution to preventing matter from contaminating a person's drink is frequently impractical. A person will often have need of both hands in order to go to the bathroom, make food, play outdoor sports, etc. making it frustrating and difficult to continuously swat away bugs or to otherwise use one's hands to prevent matter from being carried into one's drink by the wind.
[0004]It is therefore desirable to have some sort of cover to temporarily protect the open top of a drink container while one leaves it unattended. The cover would prevent floating matter such as dust and sand, and flying bugs from entering the open top of the drink container, and in that way, prevent the drink from being contaminated. Furthermore, such a cover would allow a person to leave their drink unattended while having both hands free to attend to other activities.
[0005]A person might use a readily available object with a flat surface such as a coaster or piece of paper as a temporary cover for their drink. However, this solution is undesirable for many reasons. A person needs to search for a usable object with a flat surface and of a suitable size to fit over the open top of the particular drink container they are using, which may not always be on hand. Even if an object with a flat surface is found, it must be of a suitable size for fitting over the open top of the drink container, and furthermore, must be able to form somewhat of a seal between the flat surface and the open top of the drink container. If such an object is found, once the object is in place, it may still be necessary to pay attention to the drink, as a slight breeze could easily blow the object off of the top of the drink container if the object is not properly weighted down, leaving the drink once again open to contamination. A desire to have a temporary drink cover that fits over the open top of a drink container and can form somewhat of a seal between the temporary drink cover and the open top of the drink container, and that is also properly weighted so as not to be brushed off the top of the drink container by a slight breeze is therefore reasonable.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0006]It is an object of the present invention to provide a drink cover that overcomes problems in the prior art.
[0007]In an embodiment, a drink cover for covering an open top of a drink container comprises a sheet made out of a pliable material having an upper surface, a lower surface, and an outer edge, the outer edge configured to extend beyond the open top of the drink container. A plurality of peripheral weight members are attached to a periphery of the sheet such that opposite sides of the periphery of the sheet are weighted substantially the same.
[0008]In another embodiment of the present invention, a method of covering an open top of a drink container comprises the steps of providing a drink cover having a sheet made out of a pliable material having an upper surface, a lower surface, and an outer edge, and a plurality of peripheral weight members attached to a periphery of the sheet. The drink cover is positioned over an open top of the drink container with the outer edge of the sheet extending beyond the open top of the drink container. The peripheral weights weigh down the outer edge of the sheet such that the lower surface of the sheet sits substantially flat against the open top of the drink container.
[0009]The drink cover blocks bugs and dust, sand, and other matter suspended in the air from entering through the open top of the drink container and into the drink. This allows one to temporarily leave their drink unattended while attending to other matters without having their drink contaminated by airborne bugs and particles. The drink cover is furthermore able to be used over a variety of drink containers, including cups and cans, and is maintenance-free once set in place, making it a quick and easy method of allowing a person to leave their drink completely and have both hands free to attend to other activities.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0010]While the invention is claimed in the concluding portions hereof, preferred embodiments are provided in the accompanying detailed description which may be best understood in conjunction with the accompanying diagrams where like parts in each of the several diagrams are labeled with like numbers, and where:
[0011]FIG. 1 is a top view of a drink cover in an aspect of the invention;
[0012]FIG. 2 is a front perspective view of the drink cover shown in FIG. 1 placed over the open top of a drink container;
[0013]FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the drink cover shown in FIG. 1 along sectional lines AA';
[0014]FIG. 4 is a top view of a drink cover with a rectangular outer edge; and
[0015]FIG. 5 is a top perspective view of a drink cover with peripheral weights extending beyond the outer edge of the sheet of the drink cover.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0016]FIGS. 1, 2, and 3 illustrate a drink cover 10 in an embodiment of the present invention. Drink cover 10 has a base of uniform cross section consisting of a pliable sheet of material 20. Sheet 20 is defined by an upper surface 22, a lower surface 24, and an outer edge 26. Sheet 20 of the drink cover 10 is unperforated or has pore spaces that are generally so small as to prevent bugs, dust, sand and other airborne particles from passing therethrough. In one embodiment, the sheet 20 is made up of tulle. However, the material of the sheet 20 may be varied and selected suitably depending on what is esthetically most pleasing.
[0017]Sheet 20 is circular in an embodiment, however, it is anticipated that outer edge 26 may be given a geometrical configuration more closely resembling a rectangle so as to be more esthetically pleasing to the eye. Other geometrical shapes are also possible.
[0018]Sheet 20 of the drink cover 10 has a number of peripheral weight members 32 and 34 attached thereto. Around the periphery of sheet 20 near outer edge 26 are peripheral weight members 32 and 34. Peripheral weight members 32 and 34 are placed such that the opposite sides of the sheet 20 at any point along the outer edge 26 are similarly weighted. Peripheral weight members 32 and 34 are typically beads or gems so as to be esthetically pleasing to the eye. Peripheral weight members 32 and 34 are of sufficient weight so as to be able to ply the sheet 20 downward over the rim 52 of a drink container 50 when the peripheral weight members 32 and 34 are extended beyond the rim 52 of the drink container 50.
[0019]It is anticipated that there may be more or less peripheral weight members 32 and 34 as is needed to sufficiently weigh down the drink cover 10. The number of peripheral weight members 32 and 34 is dependent on the size and weight of the drink cover 10. It is further anticipated that the peripheral weight members 32 and 34 could comprise first and second weight members 32 and 34 wherein the first weight members 32 are spaced equidistant along the periphery of the sheet 20 and the second weight members 34 are spaced equidistant along the periphery of the sheet 20. The first and second weight members will typically be different gems or beads or combinations thereof, and have different weights. Equally spacing the weight members of different weights about the periphery of the sheet 20 results in the opposite sides of the sheet 20 at any point along the outer edge 26 being similarly weighted.
[0020]Alternatively, the peripheral weight members 32 and 34 could comprise first, second and third weight members with the first and second weight members having substantially the same weight and the third weight member having a different weights. Either one of the first and second weight members could be equidistantly interspersed along the periphery, since they have the same weight, and the third weight members could be spaced equidistant along the periphery, again resulting in opposite sides of the sheet 20 at any point along the outer edge 26 being equally weighted.
[0021]To use the drink cover 10, a drink 55 contained in the drink container 50 is provided. The drink cover 10 is placed over the open top of the drink container 50 allowing the drink cover 10 to rest on the rim 52 of the drink container 50 and such that the drink cover 10 covers the entire area of the open top of the drink container 50 with the entire outer edge 26 of the drink cover 10 extending beyond the rim 52 of the drink container 50. The peripheral weight members 32 and 34 weigh down the outer edge 26 of the drink cover 10 such that the lower surface 24 of the drink cover 10 sits substantially flat against the rim 52 of the drink container 50, forming somewhat of a seal between the lower surface 24 of the drink cover and the rim 52 of the drink container.
[0022]The drink cover 10 blocks bugs and dust, sand, and other matter suspended in the air from entering through the open top of the drink container 50 and into the drink 55. This allows one to temporarily leave their drink 55 unattended while attending to other matters without having their drink 55 contaminated by airborne bugs and particles.
[0023]To remove the drink cover 10, one simply lifts the drink cover 10 off of the rim 52 of the drink container 50, and sets the drink cover 10 aside to be reused.
[0024]FIG. 4 illustrates a drink cover 110 with a rectangular outer edge 126. It is anticipated that the sheet 120 can have other shapes such as oval, triangular, trapezoidal, etc. and that the sheet 120 may be made with other materials such as plastic or woven fabric. It is further anticipated that there may be any number of different types of peripheral weight members 132 on the same sheet 120, so long as each point along the outer edge 126 has an opposite side that is similarly weighted thereto.
[0025]FIG. 5 illustrates a drink cover 210 in a further aspect with peripheral weight members 232 that extend beyond the outer edge 226 of the sheet 220. It is anticipated that peripheral weight members 232 may be ornamental beads or gems to be esthetically pleasing to the eye.
[0026]The foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the invention. Further, since numerous changes and modifications will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the invention to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all such suitable changes or modifications in structure or operation which may be resorted to are intended to fall within the scope of the claimed invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0016]FIGS. 1, 2, and 3 illustrate a drink cover 10 in an embodiment of the present invention. Drink cover 10 has a base of uniform cross section consisting of a pliable sheet of material 20. Sheet 20 is defined by an upper surface 22, a lower surface 24, and an outer edge 26. Sheet 20 of the drink cover 10 is unperforated or has pore spaces that are generally so small as to prevent bugs, dust, sand and other airborne particles from passing therethrough. In one embodiment, the sheet 20 is made up of tulle. However, the material of the sheet 20 may be varied and selected suitably depending on what is esthetically most pleasing.
[0017]Sheet 20 is circular in an embodiment, however, it is anticipated that outer edge 26 may be given a geometrical configuration more closely resembling a rectangle so as to be more esthetically pleasing to the eye. Other geometrical shapes are also possible.
[0018]Sheet 20 of the drink cover 10 has a number of peripheral weight members 32 and 34 attached thereto. Around the periphery of sheet 20 near outer edge 26 are peripheral weight members 32 and 34. Peripheral weight members 32 and 34 are placed such that the opposite sides of the sheet 20 at any point along the outer edge 26 are similarly weighted. Peripheral weight members 32 and 34 are typically beads or gems so as to be esthetically pleasing to the eye. Peripheral weight members 32 and 34 are of sufficient weight so as to be able to ply the sheet 20 downward over the rim 52 of a drink container 50 when the peripheral weight members 32 and 34 are extended beyond the rim 52 of the drink container 50.
[0019]It is anticipated that there may be more or less peripheral weight members 32 and 34 as is needed to sufficiently weigh down the drink cover 10. The number of peripheral weight members 32 and 34 is dependent on the size and weight of the drink cover 10. It is further anticipated that the peripheral weight members 32 and 34 could comprise first and second weight members 32 and 34 wherein the first weight members 32 are spaced equidistant along the periphery of the sheet 20 and the second weight members 34 are spaced equidistant along the periphery of the sheet 20. The first and second weight members will typically be different gems or beads or combinations thereof, and have different weights. Equally spacing the weight members of different weights about the periphery of the sheet 20 results in the opposite sides of the sheet 20 at any point along the outer edge 26 being similarly weighted.
[0020]Alternatively, the peripheral weight members 32 and 34 could comprise first, second and third weight members with the first and second weight members having substantially the same weight and the third weight member having a different weights. Either one of the first and second weight members could be equidistantly interspersed along the periphery, since they have the same weight, and the third weight members could be spaced equidistant along the periphery, again resulting in opposite sides of the sheet 20 at any point along the outer edge 26 being equally weighted.
[0021]To use the drink cover 10, a drink 55 contained in the drink container 50 is provided. The drink cover 10 is placed over the open top of the drink container 50 allowing the drink cover 10 to rest on the rim 52 of the drink container 50 and such that the drink cover 10 covers the entire area of the open top of the drink container 50 with the entire outer edge 26 of the drink cover 10 extending beyond the rim 52 of the drink container 50. The peripheral weight members 32 and 34 weigh down the outer edge 26 of the drink cover 10 such that the lower surface 24 of the drink cover 10 sits substantially flat against the rim 52 of the drink container 50, forming somewhat of a seal between the lower surface 24 of the drink cover and the rim 52 of the drink container.
[0022]The drink cover 10 blocks bugs and dust, sand, and other matter suspended in the air from entering through the open top of the drink container 50 and into the drink 55. This allows one to temporarily leave their drink 55 unattended while attending to other matters without having their drink 55 contaminated by airborne bugs and particles.
[0023]To remove the drink cover 10, one simply lifts the drink cover 10 off of the rim 52 of the drink container 50, and sets the drink cover 10 aside to be reused.
[0024]FIG. 4 illustrates a drink cover 110 with a rectangular outer edge 126. It is anticipated that the sheet 120 can have other shapes such as oval, triangular, trapezoidal, etc. and that the sheet 120 may be made with other materials such as plastic or woven fabric. It is further anticipated that there may be any number of different types of peripheral weight members 132 on the same sheet 120, so long as each point along the outer edge 126 has an opposite side that is similarly weighted thereto.
[0025]FIG. 5 illustrates a drink cover 210 in a further aspect with peripheral weight members 232 that extend beyond the outer edge 226 of the sheet 220. It is anticipated that peripheral weight members 232 may be ornamental beads or gems to be esthetically pleasing to the eye.
